A fair die is rolled once followed by tossing a fair coin. A random variable X is defined as: X = number appears in rolling the die plus 1 if head appears, or X = number appears in rolling the die plus 0 if tail appears. (a) Crate a probability distribution table for X. (b) Calculate the mean and variance of X.

The annual premium for a $20,000 insurance policy against the theft of a painting is $350. If the (empirical) probability that the painting will be stolen during the year is 0.02, what is your expected return from the insurance company if you take out this insurance? Let X be the random variable for the amount of money received from the insurance company in the given year. E(X)= dollars
An insurance policy for water damage pays an amount of damage up to $450. The amount of damage is uniformly distributed between $250 and $1,250. The amount of damage exceeding $450 is covered by a supplement policy up to $500. Let the random variable Y be the amount of damage paid by the supplement policy. What are the expected value and the probability distribution function of Y?

An automotive center keeps track of customer complaints received each week. The probability distributions of complaints are shown below. The random variable, xi, represents the number of complaints, and p(xi) is the probability of receiving xi complaints for two of the stores. The cost impact of each complaint is believed to be y=$10x3 where x is the number of complaints. Store A xi 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 p(xi) 0.10 0.15 0.20 0.25 0.15 0.10 0.05 Store B xi 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 p(xi) 0.10 0.15 0.25 0.22 0.13 0.08 0.07 Compute the simulated averages and standard deviations of the number of complaints per week for each store and the total for both stores over the 52 weeks. Compare to the theoretical mean and standard deviations.
High school students in Michigan sometimes get "snow days" in the winter when the roads are so bad that school is canceled for the day. Define the random variableX = the number of snow days at a certain high school in Michigan for a randomly selected school year. Suppose the table below gives the probability distribution of X. 1. Value x, 1. 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Probability p, ? 0.19 0.14 0.10 0.07 0.05 0.04 0.04 0.02 0.01 0.01 (a) Write the event “the school year has O snow days" in terms of X. Then find its probability. (b) At this high school, if more than 5 snow days are used over the course of the year, students are required to make up the time at the end of the school year. What's the probability that a randomly selected school year will require make-up days?
The cost of an automobile insurance policy depends on many factors, including marital status, where you live, credit score, age of the car, and driving history. Suppose that for some driver category, the probability distribution for the random variable Y, the amount (in dollars) of a collision deductible on a random automobile policy, is given in the table. 100 200 500 1000 p(y) 0.05 0.11 0.21 0.25 0.38 Suppose two policies are selected at random. What is the probability that at least one has a collision deductible of $500 or less? (Use decimal notation. Give your answer as an exact number.) probability:
